Driving Project Excellence: Mindful Leadership and Knowledge Dynamics in Fostering Project Performance. Perspective from Pakistan

Original language description

This study investigates the roles of mindful leadership, employee creativity at work, and knowledge management enablers in enhancing project performance within project-based firms in Pakistan. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory and the Knowledge-Based View of the firm, we propose that mindful leadership enhances project performance directly and indirectly, through creativity at work, and that knowledge management enablers strengthen this effect. We collected survey data from 249 professionals working on various construction projects in Pakistan. We used SmartPLS 4 (v4.0.1.9) for structural equation modeling. The results indicate that mindful leadership positively and significantly affects project performance. Mindful leadership alone had a weak and non-significant impact on employee creativity, but when coupled with strong knowledge management enablers, its influence on creativity became strongly positive. Mediation analysis confirms that employee creativity at work is a key mechanism linking mindful leadership to higher project performance. These findings enhance our understanding of how leadership and knowledge management practices intersect to drive project success, providing theoretical insights and practical implications for managing construction projects.
